Original screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has a new 'Basic Instinct' script, 33 years after the Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone-starring erotic thriller.

"Basic Instinct" writer Joe Eszterhas is writing an "anti-woke" reboot of the film for Amazon MGM, with Sharon Stone expected to return.

Basic Instinct earned Academy Award nominations for its editing and original score at the time. In the 1990s, the film courted controversy for its depiction of an LGBTQ+ character as a dangerous killer at the tail end of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and for its onscreen female nudity during the famous interrogation scene.
